The Bradford Guardian 3 is a compact fixed blade built for dependable performance, rugged durability, and confident handling. Proudly made in the USA, it combines a full-tang design with premium MagnaCut steel and a high-visibility orange G-10 handle, giving this versatile knife plenty of capability in a compact package.
Its 3" drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless tool steel and finished with a rugged stonewash treatment. MagnaCut is prized for its balanced combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use and everyday cutting tasks. The practical drop point profile provides a strong point and useful cutting edge for everything from camp chores to general utility work.
The full-tang construction is paired with a 3D-textured orange G-10 handle that provides a secure, confident grip while adding excellent visibility. The aggressive texture enhances handling and control, while G-10’s lightweight, durable construction is well suited to demanding environments. The bright orange color also makes the Guardian 3 easier to spot when set down around camp, in a workshop, or in the field.
Measuring 6.75" overall and weighing just 3.96 ounces, the Guardian 3 is compact enough for convenient carry without giving up the strength of a full-tang fixed blade. An included leather sheath provides secure storage and makes carrying the knife practical wherever the day takes you.
With premium steel, rugged construction, and a distinctive high-visibility handle, the Guardian 3 is a capable fixed blade that’s built to earn its place in your everyday or outdoor gear.
